Yep, Steam FX rates at work again...€7 on the continent. The Euro really is weak evidently....

I have been fancying this awhile - I have a problem on the Xbox360 in that when I selected English as a language as a setup, it also set the machine permanently as a UK machine...so I cannot buy MS Points etc in order to buy this game (or a lot of other stuff...saved me $$$!) as all my credit cards have Dutch billing addresses. How I love companies trying to restrict /gouge me by country...M$ or Steam.

That said, there seem to be some issues with this over at the Signal site - some driver (?) related graphics issues, but most of all this apparenly has only 3 resolutions available, not including 1920*1080. So I think I'll hold off on this.

[Edit - apparently it does have 1920*1080, just some people cannot see it...]
[Edit 2 - impressive minimum requirements - per Steam the minimum graphics card requirement is 1GB, recommended 2GB...Skyrim has minimum 512MB]

Thanks..I couldn't find out much info on how it played and what exactly you do in the game so any info will be helpful.  Is there a lot of missions/campaigns?

I have this for xbox. Great little tower defence game. Lots for WWI toy soldier flavour.

I found the difficulty ramps up pretty quick after about the 4th or 5th mission.

i saw a head-up about TS over at WG this morn and it became an immediate impulsive buy for 6€ something  ;)
(anybody knows how to set up the Full HD 1080 resolution? )

it feels  unique ... played two levels so far ... i expect a nice tower defence games ... just for  stress releave 

PS
Warning: it forces that Game for Widows Life crap  (i had GFWL already anyway cause of DOW II Chaos ... so no problem for me)

cool little tower defense game - the aim being to stop the enemy toys getting into your toy box (youre allowed 20 in before you lose), across the top is a roladex of the next wave youre facing so you know whether its armour, massed infantry or a boss - there are preset platforms to place your defenses on, at infantry choke points its best to place chemical cannons (gas), or vickers MG (these can be upgraded to flamethrowers and anti infantry and tank cannons), and then at the back on the bigger platforms go your artillery (kills everything), mortars (kill armour) or AAA (kill errr aircraft) all of which can also be upgraded - worth mentioning at any point you can man any of these guns and do it yourself ( the mortars invariably fire 1 shell per salvo but if you go in you can fire 3 per salvo) - lots of little mini games - you get to fly sopwith camels and dogfight with the AI leaving your emplacements on the ground to do the hard work, bomb railway lines.

Im on level 6 so far, the first 2 were easy but the 1st boss on level 3 teaches you all about upgrading artillery and making sure you man a gun towards the end.

Not brilliant, not award winning just a waste of an hour for £3 - bargain
